Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Thanks Pingus, my brand test was a super strong line yesterday and came up right away so I'm hoping that's a good thing. AF not due for 1-5 days yet (I stopped tracking etc) so I'm a nervous nellie

Nature if it makes you feel any better my lines were fainter the second day after my BFP. And I always found that ICs give fainter lines than branded tests. Also this early on, even though HCG is doubling each day it is still really low so lots of other factors (like what you ate and drank) could affect the strength of the line. Try not to worry so much!

Thank you ladies, feels like I dreamt it. Getting horrible cramps though so trying to remain calm.

Congratulations nature, how exciting! Make sure you have plenty of sticks in the house, you will probably be peeing on them every day just to check you haven't imagined it Smile

I can't believe the cheek of the tummy rubbing woman, I couldn't stand someone invading my personal space like that, let alone the insensitive comments that went with it!

I'm still lurking between the conception and pregnancy boards, 7+5 but still cautious as things have gone wrong at this stage before.

apple I'm ok thanks lovely. Yes still here - keen to see how everyone is doing. (I owe you a message, I'm so sorry!). And yes your positivity is wonderful (has helped me loads). You're resolve is impressive, whatever the motivation! Smile

My god. How rude was that woman?! She rubbed your tummy?? I'm so sorry. That really isn't on!

I also found opks best for tracking ovulation. Will be thinking of you on Tuesday and AJ tomorrow.

Still smiling about nature's post xxx

teaandbics · 17/03/2017 06:58

Ahhhh nature, congratulations lovely!! I was so happy when I saw this. Totally understand you staying calm for now (but looking forward to saying woo hoo properly very soon!) xxx

Nature that's very disciplined and thoughtful of you to not get too carried away. It's hard not to but I totally understand why you would. I'll wait with you too for the next 6 days passes :) But for the mean time a huge congratulations ❤️ xx

No. First time so I'm super nervous. There's a battle of wills going on between my heart being super excited, and my head saying behave and wait. AF according to my app is another 7 days away but I ovulated early.. About CD10 ... So I guess it could be due anywhere from 2-6 days.

Omg is this actually happening?

Oh nature I'm so so pleased for you!!!! Lets hope it's a sticky little bean Grin Yay!! (starts doing a celebration dance). Will your AF be due in 2 days time? Have you ever had a BFP before? (starts rummaging around for a graduation hat).

appleseedpip · 16/03/2017 22:43

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!! NATURE!!!! I YOU'RE PREGNANNNTTTT!!!!

appleseedpip · 16/03/2017 22:42

Ah nature that's very confusing and I agree too, it seems way too early for even an implantation at 5/6dpo.. Hmmm.. I'd wait it out.. as I've mentioned before I had the faintest line on the day I was due AF and retested 2 days after AF was due and got a fast dark positive.Though I'm always an avid wait-it-outer! ps. So sorry to hear you were in A&E! I hope you're doing better xx

Teaandbics! How are you darling? Lovely to see that you're still with us :) If my positivity helps anyone else that would be wonderful ❤️. I'm planning on testing either next Tuesday morning (day AF is due) or Wednesday (AF 1 day late) It's sweet that you think I'm this zen like buddhist monk that has the ability to not break but in all honesty I'm just tight or in other words 'being frugal' hehehe! No but in all honesty the despair of getting a negative AND then on top of that the added layer of 'bloody hell I just pissed away another £5/10' I can do without!

AND!! Talking of BEING BRAZEN WHEN ASKING WHEN WE ARE PLANNING TO HAVE CHILDREN!?! (Sorry about the capslock but I am SOOOO infuriated!!) This happened yesterday AFTER I had posted about people asking.. I bumped into one of my mother in law's friend's in the super market, she's very sweet but she proceeded to rub my belly and ask 'Any plans??' I just gently laughed and said 'not yet' but inside I was saying.. EXCUSEEEME?!! GET YOUR WANDERING HANDS OFF ME WOMAN!!.. yeah so that happened..

AJE84 I feel so basic with just 1 app! I've found it's definitely best tracking the ovulation day with OPK's. I've been actually doing my OPK's around 3-8pm each day and when I think it's getting nearer/getting darker I do then twice a day as opposed to once a day as I worry that I might miss my 'peak'. Then again if you're DTD everyday/every other day this isn't really an issue but I just like knowing exactly when it happened! I'll have my fingers crossed for you for Saturday!! xx

Today's symptoms, I had light cramping in the morning and now just gone back to normal. I almost started wondering if my period was about to start yesterday but it's way too early for that! Hmmm I wonder if it could have been implantation cramps?.. meh! We shall see :)
